  • Our customer went into liquidation and we were accused of owing a substantial lot of money for quarry products. These quarry products had not been taken as the purchase order was cancelled. These same lawyers then tried to take possession of ten pieces of our equipment that was hired to the customer previously as they felt that they had the rights through a PPS lease. Batch Mewing Lawyers guided us with legal advice, and we soon grew to trust them as we knew he had our best interests covered. Batch Mewing made sure that we were always kept up to date on any communications between both parties. We would highly recommend working with Batch Mewing to anyone that requires legal advice, and we would not hesitate to work with Batch Mewing Lawyers again in the future.

  • Our hotel network undertook a $15M refurbishment project where the builder proposed a Guaranteed Maximum Price contract which was very new to us and quite frankly a bit daunting. Batch Mewing Lawyers were fantastic in their ability to initially lead us through the process of understanding how this type of contract worked and then negotiating the terms of this agreement face to face with the builder so that we were protected. Throughout the whole process of the negotiation Batch Mewing Lawyers was extremely responsive and turnaround times on reviewing the contracts could not have been better. The negotiation of clauses in the original contract saved us hundreds of thousands of dollars. Due to the way the contract was negotiated, we still have a good working relationship with the construction company and to be honest we attribute this to the excellent work that Batch Mewing Lawyers did in negotiating a fair and equitable contract.

  • What I liked about Batch Mewing is they discussed all our commercial options. We had to make the hard decision to take legal action against a client which is never easy. The firm helped weigh up the pros and cons and delivered a strategy which actually meant we could keep the client while also retrieving the monies owed.
